FILE - In this Thursday, April 17, 2014 file photo, South Korean rescue team members try to rescue passengers trapped in the ferry Sewol sinking in the water off South Korea's southern coast near Jindo. Internal partitions in the ferry have become waterlogged and started to bend, said government task force spokesman Ko Myung-seok. Coast guard officials said this can prevent divers from entering different parts of the ferry. Ko also said divers were unable to carry out underwater searches Saturday because of bad weather.
